Description
The Business & Education Partnership connects local educators with community members who want to volunteer their time and expertise to support students' career development.
We are seeking community members who would like to be added to our roster of community career speakers. When you apply, you will be able to indicate what kinds of topics or learning activities you are interested in sharing and where you are located or willing to travel or not in Waterloo Region (including virtually).
We are a very flexible but rewarding opportunity with no minimal committment. Volunteers have the option to accept or decline invitations, but our hope is that will fulfill at least one request per year.
